I have determined that my DK50c is too small to push the 4' piles of sierra cement snow off the side of the gravel driveway. It worked fine when we didn't have a lot of snow, but now it is struggling to keep my driveway wide. I was wondering a couple of things:
Any recommendations for a better equipped and more powerful snow removal machine?
What is the biggest size tractor I could get that has a removable backhoe?
I'd love to look at a used TV140, but can I put a backhoe on the back in the summer? Can I put a blade instead of a bucket on the front? Having the swivel seat for snow removal would be wonderful for my 67 year old neck. Have any other brands considered the genius of the reversible seat for plowing?
Also, I am hesitant about getting a newer tractor that has all the electronic sensors etc.... I'm kinda a KISS kinda guy. What would be the last year of production that is dependable to wit that there isn't a lot of electronics to deal with?
Looking forward to your responses.
